i wants to turn medicare into a voucher program, and we're talking about those issues, and also pointing out his hypocrisy here carries forward to hypocrisy on those votes. >> that's the thing. when you see hypocrisy out in the open, a little more of this, this is scott desjarlais, if we need to go to atlanta--and he's talking to the patient that he got pregnant--or whatever to get this solved and get on with our lives let's do it. the woman said, you told me you would have time to go with me and everything. desjarlais said i said if i could i would, didn't i? and i will try. if i can find time. you're saying you still will? these are things you don't want out in the open. the hypocrisy isn't just candidate-deep but constituency-deep. many people say they're pro-life and that's what they run on, and then they see something like with desjarlais, and they still vote for him. >> the hypocrisy is a big issue. what this does, tennessee sure, tennessee is a conservative-leaning state. what this does for folks on the pro-life side of the aisle, it hurts their cause. the hypocrisy that he brings

melissa. >> first of all, it is medicaid, not medicare. medicaid is for those who need financial help who don't make enough money. so there is a difference. a lot of states decided not to expand medicaid which is totally a state decision and it is ridiculous because the federal government was going to cover 100% for the first three years. then only down to 90% it is not going to cost the states very much and it would provide healthcare for the poor. boo on north carolina for that one. i would tell melissa, this is important for people to understand. don't give into the fear and confusion. it is not that confusing. the states that opted out of running their own exchanges they're participating in the affordable care act. they'll be run by the federal government. which is what we were lobbying for in the first place. you have more bargaining power and more control when there is a nationally-run mechanism. each state as they run their own, that's ideal when there is a state that is actively participating but if you've got a state that's reluct
